COFFEE-POT.

SPEQIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,693, dated April 5, 1881 Application filed September 20, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, GIBSON T. AYER-and BENJAMIN WALLER TAYLOR, of Delaware, in the county of Daviess and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Coffee-Pot; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

In making cofi'ee pots the lip or spout has usually been constructed separately from the body and attached thereto by means of solder. This method involves skilled labor, and is also expensive, and the attachment is in a measure insecure, besides detracting from the appearance of the vessel.

By our improved method the body and spout of acoftee-pot are made from one piece ot'sheetmetal (tin) without stretching, spinning, or swaging the metal for that purpose. The construction is as hereinafter described, reference being bad to accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved coffee-pot. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section on line y y, Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a horizontal section on line as 00, Fig. 1.

The body A and spout A of the coffee-pot are made from one rectangular piece of sheet metal or tinned sheet-ir0n, and the body is tapered from bottom to top, while the spout is tapered in the opposite direction. Such contraction of the'size of the pot from the base upward obviously affords a surplus of metal,

and such surplus is utilized in forming the spout A.thatis to say, so much of the metal sheet as is not required to form the bodyA of the coft'ee-potis drawn out laterally and forms a vertical swell or enlargement on the side of the body, which is shaped, by means of dies or other suitable means, into the spout A. this operation the metal is not stretched or spun, but simply bent, and thus formed into the required shape. The coffee-pot constructed in this manner is cheaper, stronger, more durable and ornamental, and may be more easily and perfectly cleaned than those havin gaspout made in the usual way.

A removable sieve, E, extends the length of the coffee-pot, and is held in guide-strips ac, so as to divide the spout from the body A.

A handle, 0, and lid D are provided as usual.

We are aware it has been proposed to construct a slop-pail whose body and spout shall both be enlarged from the bottom upward and constructed from one piece, and the top or breast of the same contracted upward from its GIBSON T. AYER. BENJAMIN WVA LLER TAYLOR.
